1 NOTICE OF RELATED CASE

2 PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that this case, Jones v. Obama CV 10-1075
3 GAF(PJWx), is a related case to the previously filed case of
4 Barnett v. Obama SACV 09-0082 DOC(ANx).
5 Each of the above entitled cases arise from the same or
6 closely related transactions, happenings or events; further, the
7 latterly filed case calls for a determination of the same or
8 substantially related or similar questions of law and fact; and
9 further, the latterly filed case would entail substantial
10 duplication of labor if heard by a different judge. See Local
11 Rule 83-1.3(a),(b) and (c). In particular, each case arises from
12 Barack Obama’s election to the Presidency of the United States of
13 America; further, each seeks to have the Court adjudicate, inter
14 alia, whether he is constitutionally eligible to hold that office
15 for reasons based on his citizenship; and further, the latterly
16 filed case would entail substantial duplication of labor already
17 performed by United States District Judge David O. Carter.
18 Respectfully submitted,
